Probably not, I'm guessing it was 'phantom pain', not sure what the English term is, but pain in a limb which isn't actually there. (Ever heard of people having pains in their amputated legs, for example?)

My thoughts as well. Your ears could be damaged going to see Mountain or Megadeth just as well as being damaged going to see Garth Brookes or The Rolling Stones.

The moral of this story is of course to use them damn earplugs when going at gigs... i'm sad i didn't do that beforehand, i might have suffered ear damage as well, though i don't realize it now..

Actually the Rolling Stones got much more louder speakers, so ... anywayz, it was his choice, but you have to be responsible towards yourself and your personal health in the first place, and then everything else ... and besides this is a very rare ccurance, many thousands of people go to concerts, and are prefectly fine afterwards ... anywayz, may he rest in peace, regardless of everything else.

In my opinion it has been long time that there comes a law for the maximum decibels at a gig. In my country (Holland) there has been a non-smoking law at bars and tents. I Think the politicians are just hypocits if they forbid smoking, but still allow noise levels at gigs wich are just as dangerous as breathing smoke. Once at a gig I saw a sign at the mixing board wich said "95 decibles max". It has been known for years that your ears get permanent damage at noise levels up from 80 decibels, so if the sound engineers dont think about the public, there has to come a law for it!

That's really a shame. It's amazing the amount of pain that two small ear plugs can save you.

I noticed it kills your ears if you stay on the front row or similar rows. So basically I avoid staying there. Because it hurts my ears and because I can't breathe.
Even though I don't wear the earplugs I take simple measures like staying away from the fatal zones.

The entire venue is a fatal zone, not just the first couple of rows. So, always wear earplugs.

Funny thing, I've always worn my earplugs for concerts and my past ex-band rehearsals. I heard if you don't take the precautions early on you might not notice a big difference but it catches up with you quickly as you age.
Oh and may the metalhead rest in peace.

The pain Dietrich suffered was not "phantom pain" but real physical pain.

When people suffer from tinnitus and think they cannot take it anymore, there is an option to cut the nerve that connects the damaged ear (or ears) to the brain. But many times when that was done, the patient continued to hear the sound he heard before and the pain doesn't go away either. Only that then, you are really deaf to anything else and only hear the hissing or rining sound.
If you feel a pain that makes life unworthy of living for you I find it ok to end it on your own terms. The wife of one ex-chancellor of Germany killed herself a few years ago because she was literally allergic to sunlight (not the itchy kind but the really hurtful kind) and had to stay in dark rooms all of the time. Back then I couldn't disagree with her choice, and now I see myself in the same position again with this guy.
And my parents were mad at me when I spend 400? on professional earplugs... solid parenting

True....not just metal gigs...all kinds of large events where loud music is played is not good if the sound waves are so strong you feel they hit your body physically and make your insides shake...
I heard once of a dude who stood at a music venue next to a large speaker and fell down dead...the sound wave from the speaker hit his heart out of the rhythm....

Having someone in my immediate family commit suicide, I don't agree with his decision at all. No matter how unbearable the pain is in your life, it's not worth ending it. His story sounds terrible, and I cannot even fathom the excruciating pain he must have felt, but who knows what tomorrow may bring? It's always worth holding on.

yes phantom pains in the correct term...
A sad story. I guess he can't really blame Sepultura..
The heavier concerts I always wear earplugs unless i really LOVE the band which is very few..
Last time I was in Belgium a lot of people were throwing fireworks around... I guess a telling reason why they are banned in many countries includin my own.

Well actually Marcel is more correct as he hadn't completely lost his hearing..
my Dad has tinnitus from his days of playing in bands, and that was in the seventies.. although it isn't as extreme as this case it seems.
I often find the volume at some venues TOO loud..
It even ruins the sound.. whereas the better gigs I have been to have had a moderate mix where you can hear all the little parts of treble
I would support limiting noise to a certain dB limit, definitely!

This is also warning to some bands, to stop with "the louder, the better" philosophy. It's not the point to destroy people's ears, it's point to hear every instrument and voice clearly.
